Revelation 13 New King James Version (NKJV) –The Beast from the Sea: 13 Then I[a] stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,[b] and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

Slavoj Žižek: EU Must Create a New World Order to Stop Donald Trumpby https://www.rt.com/While most other western leaders fiddle and seethe, Donald Trump powers ahead as bully-in-chief. A genuine new world order is the only way to stop him.–Trump’s impulsive decisions, such as his refusal to endorse the G7 declaration agreed upon in Quebec, are not just expressions of his personal quirks. Instead, they are reactions to the end of an era in the global economic system, reactions which are sustained by an incorrect understanding of what is happening. However, Trump’s misguided vision is nonetheless based on the correct insight that the existing global system no longer works.–An economic cycle is coming to an end, a cycle which began in the early 1970s, the time when what Yanis Varoufakis calls the “Global Minotaur” was born, the monstrous engine that was running the world economy from the early 1980s to 2008. The late 1960s and the early 1970s were not just significant for the oil crisis and stagflation; Nixon’s decision to abandon the gold standard for the US dollar was the sign of a much more radical shift in the basic functioning of the capitalist system.–Indeed, by the end of the 1960’s, the US economy was no longer able to continue the recycling of its surpluses to Europe and Asia because its surpluses had mutated into deficits. As a result, in 1971, the US government responded to this decline with an audacious strategic move: instead of tackling the nation’s burgeoning deficits, it decided to do the opposite, to boost deficits.–And who would pay for them? The rest of the world!–Centre StageHow? By means of a permanent transfer of capital that rushed ceaselessly across the two great oceans to finance America’s deficits. And these deficits thus started to operate “like a giant vacuum cleaner, absorbing other people’s surplus goods and capital.–
While that ‘arrangement’ was the embodiment of the grossest imbalance imaginable at a planetary scale, nonetheless, it did give rise to something resembling global balance; an international system of rapidly accelerating asymmetrical financial and trade flows capable of providing a semblance of stability and steady growth.–read more.

Larijani Says Time for Europe to Save Iran Nuclear Deal is Coming to an Endby http://www.dailystar.com.lb/TEHRAN: Iran’s powerful Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Sunday that the time for Europe to show it can save the nuclear deal was coming to an end. “This issue must be clear that Iran’s officials will not wait for Europe’s endless promises,” Larijani, a key establishment figure, told Parliament in a televised address.–“The time for negotiations is coming to an end and if Europe considers itself capable of maintaining the nuclear agreement, it must announce its decision explicitly and promptly, as otherwise Iran will take the next steps with regards to nuclear and other issues.”–The United States announced last month that it was withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposing sanctions that would hit international businesses working in the Islamic Republic. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani Sunday criticized U.S. “unilateralism” in withdrawing from the nuclear deal and said he appreciated efforts by China and Russia to maintain the agreement.–“The U.S. efforts to impose its policies on others are expanding as a threat to all,” Rouhani told the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a regional security grouping led by China and Russia where Iran has observer status. “The recent example of such unilateralism and the defiance of the decisions of the international community by the U.S. government is its withdrawal from the JCPOA,” he said, referring to the nuclear agreement by its official name, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.–The other parties to the deal – Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia – have vowed to stay in the accord but have been scrambling to ensure Tehran gets enough economic benefits to persuade it to stay in the deal. However, the five states appear powerless to stop their companies pulling out of Iran for fear of U.S. penalties.–Several major companies – including France’s Total and Peugeot, and Russia’s Lukoil – have said they are preparing to exit Iran before U.S. deadlines, the last of which is Nov. 4. Speaking at the start of Saturday’s meeting with Putin on the sidelines of the SCO, Rouhani hailed close ties between Russia and Iran and said the U.S. exit from the deal warrants an “important and serious discussion between our two countries.”–read more.

Revelation 2:9 – …. and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

“In 2001, Dr. Ariella Oppenheim, of Hebrew University, a biologist, published the first extensive study of DNA and the origin of the Jews. Her research found that virtually all the Jews came from Khazar blood. Not only that but Oppenheim discovered that the Palestinians—the very people whom the Jews had been persecuting and ejecting from Israel’s land since 1948—had more Israelite blood than did the Jews.In sum, the vast majority of the Jews were not Jews; some of the Palestinians were. Some of the Palestinians even had a DNA chromosome which established that they were “Cohens”—workers at the ancient Temple and synagogues of the Jews.” – Quote

Mr. Benjamin Freedman, a Jewish industrialist born in New York, wrote in the Economic Council Letter published there of October 15 1947: “These Eastern European Jews have neither a racial nor a historic connection with Palestine. Their ancestors were not inhabitants of the Promised Land. They are the direct descendants of the people of the Khazar Kingdom. The Khazars were a non-Semitic, Turko-Mongolian tribe.” Mr. Freedman was challenged, unwisely, by a Zionist objector; he invited his challenger to go with him to the Jewish room of the New York Public Library. There they could together examine the Jewish Encyclopedia volume I pp. 1-12, and the published works of Graetz, Dubnow, Friedlander, Raisin and many other noted Jewish historians, which, as well as other non-Jewish authorities, “establish the fact beyond all possible doubt”.’ ~ Somewhere South of Suez (1950) pp349-350.” –

Bilderberg Group: Elite Club or Secretive World Government?by https://sputniknews.com/The Bilderberg Group is holding another of its secrecy-laden meetings. Some see the gathering as a chance for the global elite to hobnob and work out a common policy. Others claim it’s a shadow world government. Daniele Scalea, an analyst from the Machiavelli Center for Political and Strategic Studies, says the truth is somewhere in between.–
Sputnik: Mr. Scalea, what is the Bilderberg Group? Who created it and to what purpose?Daniele Scalea: The Bilderberg Group is a sort of elite club which meets annually. It was founded in the 1950s, and gathered the representatives of the political, economic and social elite of North America and Europe. The initiative was part of the Atlanticist effort against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The founder of the group was exiled Polish politician Jozef Retinger, founder of the Council of Europe and the European Movement, acting with the approval of the White House and the patronage of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. –The aim of maintaining the link between the US and Europe was not lost even after the dissolution of the USSR, but gradually the emphasis shifted to promoting ideas of a free market and global governance.–The Bilderberg Group is a perfect example of a transnational and cosmopolitan elite, which has dictated its rules to politicians and media over the course of many years. Therefore, some conspiracy theorists have exaggerated its role by painting it as a real world government.–
Sputnik: Each year, 120-150 people from various countries meet for the Bilderberg meeting. The meeting’s closed nature and the heavy security measures surrounding them create an aura of mystery. What sorts of characteristics must a person have to be accepted into this club?–
Daniele Scalea: They must be a member of the establishment – of the economic, political or cultural elite. Furthermore, their views must be in line with the position of this establishment; i.e., he or she must actively support globalism – the scenario under which the entire world should be united by a single economic and ideological system, as well as a unified structure of administration and control. But there are also members of the club who do not necessarily share these guiding principles.–read more.

Merkel Spokesman: EU Retaliatory Tariffs Will Be Ready For July 1by Tyler Durden, https://www.zerohedge.com/Following promises (threats?) by EU bloc executive Jean-Claude Juncker and German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the European Union would soon impose retaliatory tariffs on the US while moving ahead with a settlement dispute at the WTO, Merkel’s chief spokesman Steffen Seibert reiterated Monday morning that the EU is “ready to take action” and that its planned trade countermeasures would be ready to take effect on July 1.–Earlier this month, EU members voiced their support for a plan that would slap 25% tariffs on up to $3.3 billion in US goods. The EU plan would also impose duties of between 10% and 50% on $4.2 billion in additional goods in March 2021, or sooner, if the WTO rules that the Trump tariffs are, in fact, illegal (as many of the US’s rivals have alleged). Meanwhile, Trump’s aluminum and steel tariffs would impact more than $7.5 billion in European goods.–However, Seibert added that Germany is still ready to resolve the trade standoff through the WTO. But with the US reluctant to do so, it’s likely that the “tit-for-tat” tariffs will continue until both sides decide to meet at the negotiating table.–read more.

PressTV Published on Jun 10, 2018The war of words has intensified between the US and G-7 allies after President Donald Trump retracted his endorsement of the communiqué of the once-united group. The German chancellor called Trump’s abrupt revocation of support for a joint communiqué sobering and depressing. Angela Merkel however said that’s not the end. France also accused Trump of destroying trust and acting inconsistently. Trump pulled the US out of the group’s summit statement after Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on the US. The White House said Canada risked making the U-S president look weak ahead of his summit with the North Korean leader. But, Canada’s Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland later reiterated that her country will retaliate against US tariffs in a measured and reciprocal way.

PressTV Published on Jun 11, 2018US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says sanctions against North Korea will not be lifted without the country’s verified denuclearization. Pompeo made the remarks in Singapore, where a historic summit between U-S President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un is set to take place on Tuesday. The top American diplomat said the only acceptable outcome for the U-S is the verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Pompeo said the US would offer unique security guarantees to convince Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program. He added that the summit will begin with a one-on-one meeting between the American and North Korean leaders which could last for up to 2 hours.
